His new book, Picture Imperfect: Utopian Thought for an Anti-Utopian Age, will be published this spring by Columbia University Press. He teaches history at UCLA ]], The Nation. AlterNet, posted April 11, 2005: "Conservatives like David Horowitz complain relentlessly that they do not get a fair shake in the university. What fuels the persistent charges that professors are misleading the young?": http://www.alternet.org/story/21715/ "" For William F. Buckley Jr., author of the 1951 polemic God and Man at Yale: The Superstitions of "Academic Freedom" and a founder of modern American conservatism, the solution to this scandal was straightforward: Fire the wanton professors. No freedom would be abridged. The socialist professor could "seek employment at a college that was interested in propagating socialism." None around? No problem. The market has spoken. The good professor can retool or move on. "" (2) "Dissecting a right-wing smear: How conservatives used trumped-up evidence to blame Democrats for Schiavo memo", — P.H., M.K. & J.W., Media Matters for America [[ a Web-based, not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) progressive research and information center dedicated to comprehensively monitoring, analyzing, and correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media. ]]; posted to the web on Thursday April 7, 2005 at 6:11 PM EST: http://mediamatters.org/items/200504070005 "" Despite a lack of evidence, several media sources have repeated conservative speculation and accusations that Democrats secretly authored a "talking points" memo that described the Terri Schiavo case as a "great political issue" for Senate Republicans. These baseless accusations, apparently hatched on right-wing blogs and in conservative media such as The American Spectator, were given credibility by The Washington Post and CNN's Inside Politics. But as recent reports indicate, Sen. Mel Martinez (R-FL) has admitted publicly that one of his aides is the true author of the memo.
